Each and every SAR12C is hand built by David Williams, the engineer that designed the rifle. Our customers demand perfection, and his goal is to make each and every rifle function as expected. After building each rifle, it is then fitted with optics (if ordered), zeroed at 45 yards, then testing with brand new First Strike rounds. Each shot is chronographed and shot grouping is inspected. The marker is then broke down and placed in shipping container to be shipped to you, not stored on a shelf.I heard the SAR12 paintball sniper rifle won both 2013 ODX Spring and Fall Top Paintball Sniper Challenges, and the 2014 ODX Top Sniper Challenge.
